Renewable energy is a completely non-polluting energy source, with minimal environmental impact – adding no new air or water emissions. Electricity from renewable resources, predominantly wind and solar, play an important role in meeting our customers’ energy needs while reducing our environmental impact. At DTE, we recognize our role in providing our customers with energy that is safe, affordable, reliable – and cleaner.
With the wind and solar assets in its energy portfolio, DTE is generating enough power from renewable energy resources to power nearly 450,000 homes. We believe the future of renewable energy is bright, and we are working hard to increase our capacity to generate electricity from these clean energy sources.

Renewable Energy Sources

Renewable Energy Sources
Clean and renewable energy not only helps to minimize our impact on the environment, these green power sources are naturally replenished every day.

Wind Energy
In Michigan, wind is our most abundant source of clean renewable energy. Learn how we are harnessing wind power for a brighter future.

Solar Energy
DTE Energy is the largest investor in solar energy in the state of Michigan. See how we are investing more in this zero-emissions technology.

Join us in supporting renewable energy

MIGreenPower™ is a new voluntary renewable energy program open to all of DTE’s 2.2 million full service business and residential electric customers. Launched in April 2017, the program provides interested customers with an easy and affordable way to reduce their carbon footprint by increasing the percentage of their energy usage that is attributed to DTE’s newest renewable projects. Customers who subscribe to MIGreenPower can elect to increase the amount of renewable energy they use in 5 percent increments, up to 100 percent. Participating customers will see a slight increase to their monthly bill depending on the level of renewable energy they select while knowing they are helping to support Michigan’s clean energy future.

BioGreenGas® and BioGreenGas® for Business are voluntary customer programs designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and strengthen our state’s energy independence. By enrolling, you are supporting the generation of electricity from Michigan-based,renewable energy sources, including biomass (landfill gas and methane gas from cow manure) and wind energy.

Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) are proof that electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource. The issuance or purchase of RECs offsets the generation of emissions that factor into climate change, and provide the financial incentive for development of new renewable energy sources.
